At least 23 passengers from the hantavirus-stricken cruise ship MV Hondius left the vessel and flew home before the deadly outbreak was detected on May 2. Now scattered across the globe, one has already been hospitalized in Switzerland with a confirmed infection. The hantavirus—a rare Andes strain—has a 40% fatality rate and can spread from person to person. Public health officials in five U.S. states are now monitoring returning residents, while the U.S. government plans to quarantine 17 still-stranded Americans in Nebraska. A single voyage, now a worldwide health alert.
